I think if I have to watch Kevin Spacey suffer munificently one more time I am going to shoot him in a way that will be quickly fatal. That goes double with the character of Emilio Sandoz, for whom the psychological side of his suffering is basically, "No, I have never seen The Mission or Black Robe. Wait, what are you doing?"
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Well, he must have the IQ of a tuber, because it looked more to me like they'd put in incest, instead of removing homosexuality.
Heee.
Somebody with both more gravitas and, if such a thing is possible, vulnerability.
I'd rather an unknown. Emilio is in his late 30s, I think (I could be mistaken). And his Puerto Rican heritage is so much a part of the character, casting an Anglo would be so wrong.
At one point, Russell was cowriting the screenplay herself with a friend who'd written several. I wonder what happened to that.
The mind reels at the Hollywoodization of this movie. Anne & her husband will be de-aged, the Jesuits will be turned into Episcopalians so they can have sex (or de-frocked entirely), and Sophia will sleep with everyone. Gah.
And, of course, Emilio won't be raped or kill that little girl.
In better news, Russell's new novel has an ISBN and a publication date. Yay!

Snerk. Nutty is SO right.
They meant no harm. Sigh.
I still love that novel, flaws and all.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
They meant no harm.
Wasn't that the last line on the synopsis on the jacket? Poor Emilio. So bloody naive.
Anne & her husband will be de-aged, the Jesuits will be turned into Episcopalians so they can have sex (or de-frocked entirely), and Sophia will sleep with everyone.
I'm imagining J.Lo as Sophia Mendez. Cannot. Stop. Giggling.

Art Crawl!!!
Hayley! I knew that looked wrong.
I could swear I saw her in something when she was an adult.
What about her sister? Did Juliet Mills work as a child?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I didn't know that was her sister!
She did a bit, but not as much as Hayley.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I motion to have The Life of David Gale stricken from the mindwipe.
I didn't hear very many good things about it, but if that motion passes, I move for K-PAX. I liked it. And it had a great score.

I have a plan.
Anybody mention the great Rick Schroeder?
Or, Ron Howard?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
And his Puerto Rican heritage is so much a part of the character, casting an Anglo would be so wrong.
They'll probably pick Antonio Banderas, then. He gets every Latino part, doesn't he?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
He gets every Latino part, doesn't he?
And if he's not available, there's Benicio del Toro, or one of the kids from Y Tu Mama Tambien.
